nairiporterJust a hypothetical. Would you support Elon Musk for president (if he was eligible)? Obviously I'm talking about POTUS.
Do you agree he has no qualifications to run a country? But then, Macron didn't either. Or Trump, to that matter (although I doubt that's a good argument). Or do you maybe find his moral ethics questionable? Did he send that submarine for saving the Thailand kids just because he wanted people to love him? Or was he genuinely concerned? Does that ambiguity come with the job of being a multi-billion entrepreneur who does things for fame and profit, or there's more to his motives?
And how would his worldview translate into policy, would those policies benefit society? In terms of policies, I would venture with a guess that he identifies as centre-left more than any other denomination. So maybe Democrat?
Really, is having a businessman background a problem? I mean it shouldn't matter if it's a businessman or a worker's child - evidently, what matters much, MUCH more is if the person is a raving asshole or a sensible, empathic person. Right? Or the background defines everything?
Your thoughts?
